Finn is a 3rd generation potter, taught by his father. He started learning how to throw once finishing high school and for the last 5 years has been working fulltime in his Dad’s pottery studio in Quindalup. He has learnt production throwing of pots of all shapes and sizes, but has a greater passion for having fun with curious potters of all skills and abilities. He encourages people to use the humbling craft of ceramics to connect with friends and explore creativity. Having recently moved to Perth for a change of scenery, he enjoys hosting casual classes for beginners and intermediates. His favourite things to make are water bottles, mugs and large dinner bowls.
